The Town of Rockport recently honored longtime resident Molly Sholes for her dedicated service to the community with an in memoriam ceremony at the Town Office.

Molly's son, Dwight Sholes, and her close friend, Paulette Martin, joined members of the Select Board and town staff for the brief ceremony. The gathering became a heartfelt walk down memory lane as those in attendance shared memories of Molly's deep love for Rockport, her many friendships, and her lasting contributions to the community.

Molly was well known for her specialty product, Spruce Mountain Chutney, made from wild blueberries harvested atop Pleasant Mountain. Her entrepreneurial spirit, generosity, and connection to the people of Rockport left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

The Town is grateful for Molly's many contributions and honors her memory as an important part of Rockport's history and community spirit.
